US Airways plane skids off runway after botched takeoff at Philadelphia Airport

Passengers on US Airways Flight 1702 were evacuated Thursday when their plane crash-landed shortly after takeoff from Philadelphia Airport.

Though their are mixed reports as to the source of the mechanical malfunction -- either it was the nose gear or a blown tire -- there were no reports of serious injuries.

"All customers and crew have safely evacuated," US Airways rep Todd Lehmacher said in a statement. "Emergency crews are on scene. Passengers are in the process of being transported to the terminal."

Philadelphia Airport grounded all planes "until further notice."

PHL is currently on a ground stop until further notice due to the US Airways collapsed nose gear incident.
